Defect
On the side-mounted spare tire carrier used on medium-duty trucks, the welding of the winding mechanism is improper, resulting in significant variation in weld strength. Some units do not achieve a sufficient safety margin. If the tire is secured using excessive torque rather than the specified tightening method, the weld may detach and the spare tire may fall from the vehicle.
Corrective action
Replace the spare tire carrier on all vehicles with a corrected part. Notify customers of proper spare tire carrier handling procedures.
